Encryption/Security

Securing your Wi-Fi Network
Here are a few different ways you can maximize the security of your
wireless network and protect your data from prying eyes and ears.
This section is intended for the home, home office, and small office
user. At the time of this User Manual's publication, there are four
encryption methods available.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP is a common protocol that adds security to all Wi-Fi-compliant
wireless products. WEP was designed to give wireless networks the
equivalent level of privacy protection as a comparable wired network.
64-Bit WEP
64-bit WEP was first introduced with 64-bit encryption, which
includes a key length of 40 bits plus 24 additional bits of system-
generated data (64 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers refer
to 64-bit as 40-bit encryption. Shortly after the technology was
introduced, researchers found that 64-bit encryption was too easy to
decode.
